Oh, what a day by the bay

9-25-08

You know there were some pissed off Giants fans leaving AT&T park last night. I myself have felt like that several times this season.

All I heard today was “why didn’t the Rockies play like that last month, why now?”.

To which I replied “why the hell are you asking me, I’m wondering the same thing myself”.

Too little, too late, ahh whatever. It was still fun to watch and I’m officially three wins up on my bet.

If the Rockies win tonight I’ll be bringing that Rockies Jersey into work tomorrow for the Giants fan who thought up this bet to wear. Oh, and the loser’s picture gets posted on here. He is a good sport, I think.

Thank You Rockies ( knock on wood), for not making me look like a chump in front of everyone I work with and the blogging community.

Hope I’m not celebrating too early?

Clint Barmes was on fire last night. He chalked up a homer and four RBI’s. Barmes is bucking for a fulltime job and who can blame him.

I cant believe this guy can hit the way he hits. Shoot, I’m bigger than him..I guess it’s all in the swing.

Just heard some scary news. My favorite player is going to go under the knife. Todd Helton is going to have what’s called a microdisectomy next tuesday. That just sounds uncomfortable.

They are going to remove part of his bulging L5 disc to hopefully alleviate pressure on the nerve that has been messing with him.

Good Luck Todd, We need to see you on first base next season.

Congrats to Chris Iannetta !

Chris’s two run double gave him 65 RBI for the season. That was enough for him to surpass former Rockie Brent Mayne’s club record of 64 RBI in 2000.

Don’t count on seeing Willy Taveras steal any more bases this season. Apparently, super speed comes with a pricetag.

Willy has a stress fracture of his right tibea. His season is officially done. Good luck Speedy! I hope you heal as fast as you run.

The Rockies owned this game. They won 15-6. I was skeptical of Hernandez, but he had two of the Rockies eighteen hits himself.

Livan gave up five runs with twelve hits in seven innings. He is now (13-11).

I know these last few games mean nothing. But straight up, I would rather see them win the last six games than lose them. I hate losing to the Giants.

I do plan to blog about the playoffs but I just can’t seem to blog about other teams while my team is still playing and winning.
